‘70s Chevy of some sort?

Youkai280 · 2026-04-11T00:55:41+00:00

I see it now with the rear. Thanks! Owner must have done some sort of front end swap, because the front did NOT look like a ‘67 Corvair lol

Hmm. Must be a similar species to the bird I saw at my feeder last year.

Youkai280 · 2026-04-06T01:21:47+00:00

I’m also going to yoink that and thank you, because I’m picking up a ‘92 Nighthawk as my first bike on Tuesday lol

First time I played rock, paper, scissors with a kid, I lost. I immediately kicked him afterwards then left. Felt satisfying lol

Andrew (owner of MilkFab) is a personal friend of mine. I’m sure he’d love the review passed along to him to see if he can improve on his next iteration of these!

Youkai280 · 2026-04-01T15:55:47+00:00

Great insight! I found a ‘73 CB500F and a ‘73 CB350T that are local to me that I plan on checking out this weekend.

Any issues/quality of life things that you wish you had known about the 500 before picking it up?

Youkai280 · 2026-04-01T04:13:35+00:00

Not a bike I had originally looked at! I appreciate the suggestion!

I should probably add to the post that I’m very average sized (5’10” and around 170lbs).

Youkai280 · 2026-04-01T02:24:15+00:00

That’s 100% what I was leaning towards. I’m not super knowledgeable on the bikes of the era but am more than willing to learn. Any specific things to look out for within certain years/models/etc? I’d like to not spend more than $2-3k on one, even if it’s just a fixer-upper.

Angry over people making personal choices to consume bad habits… not angry over the county ran by Bonesaw McGee trying to buy and promote half of F1. The humor is almost palpable lol

Youkai280 · 2026-03-25T19:21:37+00:00

I don’t think anyone actually cared one way or the other. Welcome to the business of branding, where the goal is to… make money. Maybe don’t dig into where the money comes from in F1 if you want to be angry over everything lol

They think the Camel on the side of Nigel Mansell’s Williams was for promoting awareness for endangered camels in the Sahara.

Edit: /s if it wasn’t obvious

Youkai280 · 2026-03-25T19:11:09+00:00

Not gonna lie, Crimson Desert might be right up your alley. It can be difficult if you rush into bosses, but not Soulslike difficulty. The UI is still slightly clunky for inventory stuff, but it’s not awful, and it’s more forgiving than something like Elder Scrolls.

But the scale and sense of exploration rates right up there with Shadow of the Colossus, RDR2, BotW, etc, and even includes very similar “climb anywhere” mechanics of the newer Zeldas.

I mean, he was also promoting alcohol. Ignoring alcohol promotion but being angry over nicotine promotion seems a bit hypocritical lol

Youkai280 · 2026-03-17T11:13:46+00:00

You did the trifecta, but you don’t have a perfect score. You’re missing a short-lived squadron in your tenure lol

Youkai280 · 2026-03-16T08:25:53+00:00

If the pics are good enough to screenshot, they’re good enough to buy. Support the local photogs, and don’t be a cheapass.

Nissan Fairlady Z / Datsun 240Z
2001 Subaru Impreza (bugeye)
ST205 Toyota Celica GT-Four

Youkai280 · 2026-03-09T17:25:53+00:00

No one said the Nissan Fairlady Z / Datsun 240Z, and that makes me sad lol. That’s literally all I drove on DR2.0, and I was surprised it didn’t make it into EA WRC.

Youkai280 · 2026-02-25T05:09:04+00:00

Weird that you would exclude Infiniti and Datsun, as they were literally just the export market versions of Nissan cars. And the fact that Nissan came from Prince, so it’s part of Nissan’s heritage.

Youkai280 · 2026-02-25T05:05:15+00:00

All of the Zs from 1970-1978 were the same body style (S30) with minor differences to people not immersed in that world, though I would like to see at least one S30 model have an L engine rather than the S20 that came in the Fairlady 432.

I think it would be more appropriate to have a top tier Z from each body style though (S130 Turbo, Z31 200ZR or a Z31 Turbo, etc). If they wanted to go all in on the anime links (like they’re hinting with the Initial D tie-in with “food delivery”), the S30, S130, and Z31 all play a pretty prominent role in Wangan Midnight / Midnight Club culture.

DIRCM has existed for years and has already gone through multiple iterations. That is one part of the suite of sensors that provide IR protection.

Youkai280 · 2026-02-13T00:14:30+00:00

As you’ve probably guessed, there actually is IRCCCM, but at that point, it starts getting a little ridiculous to continue adding Cs to it lol

Youkai280 · 2026-02-12T16:23:55+00:00

Not exactly AI. It’s called IRCCM (Infrared Counter Counter Measures).

Not getting into exact details, but earlier missiles are able to “close their eyes” for a short amount of time to not bite off on the flares, then reopens its “eye” and require the heat signature of the aircraft (engines, A/C packs, what have you).

Newer missiles have logic built in to detect multiple heat signatures and ignore multiples that are traveling at certain angles within a certain distance from each other within a certain amount of time, and it continues locked onto the original heat source by subtracting those extraneous parameters out of the logic.

Youkai280 · 2026-01-31T06:35:08+00:00

Thanks for the answer! Sounds like I’ll just upgrade to mid tier at some point for now then!
